Marlon Wayans wants people to stop judging Boosie BadAzz and his complicated relationship with his daughter, Iviona Hatch. A clip of Boosie talking with Yung Miami has circulated online, where he discussed his thoughts on his daughter and her sexuality. Iviona came out as a lesbian a few years back, and it’s logical to assume her father isn’t too accepting of her “lifestyle.” The Baton Rouge rapper says while he does care for his daughter, she can’t bring her girlfriend around their family for fear of “contamination.”

Boosie has been accused of using homophobic and transphobic language for quite some time now. However, Marlon Wayans doesn’t believe Boosie is a “monster.” Wayans added, “That man is [a] father that provides. I believe him, his daughter, and God will figure this out.” Wayans has become a huge supporter of the LGBT+ community since his eldest child, Kai, came out as transgender. He continued: “Give their family grace and time. This is growing pain. She know her daddy loves her. That’s all that matters. He may come around he may not. But that’s on him and her.”

“If [only] the world really knew the hurtful things you told me,” Hatch Says

Hatch caught wind of the news, and jumped online to share her feelings: “I just saw that he recently did an interview with Caresha and he used the word ‘contaminate’ and put my siblings in it at that. If you know me, I love and respect my siblings with everything in me. And they respect me and love me with everything in them.” She added, “When you getting on they nerves, I’m who they call.”

Iviona continued: “Most of my sibling are teenagers — teenagers that you don’t want to see grow up.”Hatch, also shared the moment she came out to her father and his unpleasant response. “The incident that happened was in Jamaica…when you called me a gay b-word. So if the world really knew the hurtful things you told me before and I forgave you, you wouldn’t even understand.”
